Pretty angry about this and I really feel for Des. He’s shown what he can do with a side with quality on the flanks and been sacked after a poor run with no wide options. Gutted.

🏟️ Oxford United Football Club can announce it has submitted a full planning application to Cherwell District Council for its proposed new stadium.

Analytics Toolbox // code and viz now on GitHub: https://t.co/cJ0g78Z6SR. Some example of the viz created also! Will continue to add…happy to help if any queries!

[OxfordAnalytics @AnalyticsOxford]

I’m putting together an ‘Analytics Toolbox’ that uses publicly available data to create football viz. Data also available for the EFL. Will hopefully act as a guide/blue print for getting into coding/adding own data. Some examples 👉

⚽️📊 Experimental viz.
Heat maps are good. They show where and the frequency of a player's events. What if we add a second dimension to this?
We can look at where a player makes his prog passes compared to all actions.
Not necessarily prog pas, maybe turnover locs, key passes...

It creates a quick function to pull the data, save the output to both .csv and sql database. This is then automated to run weekly updating after weekend fixtures. Hopefully useful!

After a hiatus: SQL in R with football data continued…https://t.co/dVrUo59FqC

[Mark Wilkins @biscuitchaser]

Last year I put together an initial piece creating a SQL database within Rstudio, housing understat shot data for the top 5 European leagues. The above piece builds on that.

@leahbcfc Even better news this morning. See you this afternoon 💃
